Randwick Bloodstock Agency led FBAA members at the Inglis Great Southern Foal Sale with $90,000 for a filly from the last crop of Hinchinbrook.

Bred by Kate Nivison (Etak Thoroughbreds) and sold through Victorian-based nursery Shadwell Farm, she is the second foal of Buon Auspicio (Bernardini) who was a three-time Doomben winner for Bryan Guy. Her yearling is a Bel Esprit colt with Mornington trainer David Feek.

RBA principal Brett Howard bought the Hinchinbrook filly in association with Rushton Park’s David & Kayley Johnson. They have been involved in several ventures in recent years – one of the most recent being a Dundeel yearling colt that RBA bought from the Johnsons for $100,000 at this year’s Gold Coast Magic Millions.

He’s been named Keaton at will race for a Star Thoroughbreds syndicate with Denise Martin.

Sheamus Mills Bloodstock was next on the FBAA leader-board at Oaklands when bidding $72,000 for the So You Think - The Ivy colt (Lot 457) on Monday. SMB clients Chesapeake Thoroughbreds also sold a cracking Winning Rupert filly to Hall of Fame Bloodstock for $145,000.

The Deep Field colt is related to Malaguerra who parlayed a $32,000 price-tag at Oaklands into prizemoney of $1.89 million for Bluegrass client Bruno Micallizzi.

Pinhook Bloodstock bought five foals with the Reward for Effort - Alice's Restaurant colt (Lot 19) on top at $26,000. He’s a half-brother to Hong Kong winner Haymaker (Al Samer).

Other FBAA members with the sires of their best-priced foals were Group 1 Bloodstock (Sizzling), Mitchell Bloodstock (Needs Further), John Chalmers Bloodstock (Per Incanto) and Belmont Bloodstock (Manhattan Rain).

Inglis reported Foal Sale turnover of $11.18 million at an average of $32,421 and an ever-increasing clearance rate of 78%.
